We have a configured a Hornetq HA setup (CentOS 5, using NFS mount with HQ_2_2_10_EAP_GA_BUILD2,Java NIO) using a static cluster configuration. This setup worked for a while. When I killed the live server recently, the backup server didn't get activated and I get the following error in the backup server log.

Bounced live and backup and restarted live and backup still gave the same exception. The thing is when I kill both live and backup and bring up backup alone it is able to startup fine and read all the journal info from the shared location . It is only during a kill of the live , backup throws this exception

Attached are 2 zips-containing the respective hornetq config and the server log.
